Urbain Le Verrier, mathématicien et physicien, est à l'origine de la découverte, en 1846, d'une « nouvelle planète, non encore nommée et responsable des perturbations inexpliquées d'Uranus ». Ce sont ses travaux qui vont permettre à l'astronome berlinois Johann Galle de localiser Neptune. Elu député de la Manche en 1839, « sous l'étiquette des Amis de l'ordre », il est à l'Assemblée « un promoteur zélé du télégraphe et des chemins de fer (…) Partisan du coup d’État du 2 décembre, Le Verrier est sous le Second Empire l’un des principaux soutiens du pouvoir au sein du monde savant ».
